If you want real peace of mind, Adriana is the one for you. I am a massive worry wart, and had never been away from my dog overnight before. To say I was concerned about leaving him is an understatement. Adriana knew this and provided the exact type of service I was hoping for. She treated my boy like he was her own. Followed all of my instructions to a tee, and sent me so many great pictures. She was always on time, and even took it upon herself to clean up a cut he has that breaks open occasionally. She went above and beyond and I personally will be very bummed if she’s not available when I need her in the future. She’s that good! I don’t want to have to use anyone else besides her and I know my dog Chase would echo that sentiment. When you love your pet as much as I do (if you’re reading this, you must) knowing you have someone like Adriana looking after them is the ultimate peace of mind. Thank you again Adriana!!

Vanessa was absolutely incredible this weekend while pet sitting Tonor, Ink, Hunter, and Tux! From the moment she arrived, it was clear how knowledgeable and genuinely caring she is. With her zoology background and zookeeper experience, I felt completely confident that my crew was in the best hands possible. She kept everyone enriched, fed, hydrated, and happy and the photos she sent throughout the stay were amazing. Tonor and Ink looked relaxed and cozy, Hunter was his curious self, and Tux enjoyed every minute of attention (and treats!). Vanessa captured their personalities perfectly, and it was obvious they were comfortable, entertained, and loved the entire time. Communication was fast, clear, and consistent. She checked in often, sent Rover Cards, and made sure I always knew how things were going. I genuinely felt peace of mind the whole weekend. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets with the same care you do but Vanessa really does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

I can’t recommend her enough! She took such amazing care of my dogs and truly treated them like her own. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and my dogs absolutely adore her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for while I was away. She’s reliable, caring, attentive, and always available anytime I need her. She truly goes above and beyond, and I would trust her with my dogs anytime!

Thoroughly enjoyed Hayley! She was very professional. Was not worried at all while I was out of town. She was good about coming at the same times, kept me informed on how Roscoe was doing with pictures and was quick to answer when I texted or called. Will definitely be using her next time I leave town. She treated Roscoe as if he was her own!

About: Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been around all types of animals basically my entire life, dogs being my favorite of course. I've been around small dogs, average sized dogs and larger dogs. Because I'm a highly energetic person and love to run and play, I will be able to provide a great and fun environment to your pup. Since I've moved from home ( New York ) I am no longer around my family pets, whom I miss very much, Rover gives me an opportunity to make friends with your pup's, so for that I'm extremely greatful and excited to get started. I am eager to meet yourself and your fur child, and I'm even more excited to become their very good friend! ?

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

About: I have two cats and an axolotl. I'm always begging my friends to let me dogsit for them, as I adore dogs, so I figured I should get myself on Rover. I have experience walking and sitting for large dogs. I'm a big animal lover and would love to care for all animals. I have a lot of flexibility during weekdays and weekends for pet care. Please message me for more specifics for scheduling so I can work with you to meet your animal's needs. I am receptive and respectful of your boundaries and rules for your pets. You know your animals best, so I am here to listen and meet your and your pet's needs. Safety comes first, so I am vigilant about keeping your pets safe in every environment. NOTE: I can only board animals in my home if they are well trained around cats, as the safety of my cats comes first.

Kilie is great. Macee actually seems to like her and she is not opposed to making sure she gets her meds and is happy and comfortable in my absence. Gives me a little freedom.

Shaz was absolutely amazing! I love how she had no problem feeding my ferals for me as well as my 4 kitties who are usually shy around strangers. The photos she sent made me feel at ease seeing my Miney-Moo enjoying some scratches and rubbing her face against whatever corner she could find. I loved seeing my Nala girl having fun and playing in the pics. My kitties looked so relaxed and content. Dante looked so cute chilling by her feet. I felt bad when I forgot to mention that Dante wheezes when he's mad. Shaz was super concerned which I appreciated her checking in and alerting me :)

We highly recommend Margaret. She did a wonderful job looking after our cats and guinea pigs while we were away. She went to great lengths to get our picky cat to eat, which we very much appreciate. She was responsive and always sent photos and updates. When we got back they were happy and clearly well cared for. I hope she is available to watch them again the next time we are out of town.

We cannot recommend Zuzu enough! She has been watching our beloved Foxxy-Freyja for a few years and consistently goes above and beyond. When it began, our girl was going through chemotherapy and required medications and Zuzu did wonderful with her. Not only does she do an amazing job with care, playtime, and providing detailed updates and pictures, but she also helped out by bringing in packages while we were away. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring. Foxxy-Freyja absolutely adores her, and we can finally travel worry-free. 5 stars!😻😻😻😻😻

Isabel is the best, we had a sad situation made worse, my mom passed and we had to ask her to watch her kitty in a different location. She was so great about it and she was amazing with my mom’s cat. The cat is actually so much more social now, so we were able to find her a new home!! Thank you so much, I’ll always recommend you

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Syracuse on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Syracuse. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Syracuse. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
